Feature Description

Currently when a user activates a feature on the Performance screen, this installs a plugin. The user doesn't know this, however. When they go to their plugins list table and see additional plugins unexpectedly, it's possible they could get alarmed. In #1046 we discussed some possibilities for improving the way that plugins are bundled together under the Performance Lab brand, with one possibility being to add a "Performance Lab" prefix to each plugin. This seems to not be moving forward, however. But here's an alternative: what if as part of the plugin row meta there is a "From Performance Lab" bit that is added like as follows:

Clicking on "Performance Lab" could take the user to the Performance screen. This plugin row meta could be added by the Performance Lab plugin when it is active (cf. #1052 which dynamically prefixes feature plugin names with "PL" when the Performance Lab plugin is active).

Since none of the plugin assets (#1136) are displayed on the plugin list table, having this additional metadata may be helpful. Granted, it does currently say "By WordPress Performance Team", but that is not an explicit connection to the Performance Lab plugin.
